Services
This page details how the library can help you with research goals.
Evidence searches
If you’re embarking on a research project and want to know what research has already been conducted, your library service can conduct a thorough search of the evidence on your behalf and produce a report for you that lays it all out, with links to the full text of the results wherever possible.
To request an evidence search:
- NLFT South (formerly Camden and Islington), Whittington Health, and NCL primary care and GP staff can complete Whittington Health Library’s online Evidence Search Request form or contact the team on whl@nhs.net or 020 7288 2580
- NLFT North (formerly Barnet, Enfield, Haringey) can contact the St Ann’s Library team at nlft.library@nhs.net or 020 8702 3785
Current Awareness
KnowledgeShare is a targeted current awareness service for NHS staff members: if you provide the details of your research interests, you can receive email bulletins directly to your inbox at intervals of your choosing that link out to the latest and greatest research in that area. Tell us about your professional interests and we will set you up to receive a bulletin of the latest high-level evidence in your field by email every two weeks.
